Tugboat At Work; hauling a liner into one of the dockyards on Clydeside
17th July 1954: A tugboat hauls a liner into one of the dockyards on Clydeside. The shipyards are the major employers in the area and, while the demand is high, the industry supports the local economy. In July 1954 the Clyde shipyards had about 2, 000, 000 gross tons of shipping under construction and factories were manufacturing enough engines to supply the local trade and export the surplus.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the bustling shipyards of Clydeside on July 17th, 1954. A powerful tugboat can be seen hard at work, hauling a majestic liner into one of the dockyards. The shipbuilding industry is the backbone of this area's economy, providing employment opportunities for countless individuals. As demand soars, these shipyards continue to support the local community. During this particular period, the Clyde shipyards boasted an impressive construction volume of approximately 2 million gross tons of shipping. Furthermore, factories were diligently manufacturing engines to meet both domestic and international demands. This thriving industry not only fuels trade within Scotland but also exports surplus products overseas. The photograph showcases a square format with males and females gathered together in awe as they witness this remarkable display of transportation prowess. Amidst billowing smoke and serene waters, their attention is fixed on the immense vessel being skillfully guided by the tugboat. Bert Hardy's masterful lens immortalizes this scene from Scotland's rich maritime history. It serves as a poignant reminder of how industries like these shape economies and communities alike.
